Disappointed
We chose the room for the hot tub. There are no safety bars. It seemed to be an older style. It would have been impossible for me to get in and get out. Very disappointed. The pool did not seem clean and was cold

The hotel needs updating. The bed was very uncomfortable, bedding was rough, drapes were water stained and the water ran rusty in the bathroom for minutes before clearing up. The good, the lady at the front desk was nice and the hotel was clean.
